“Undress 522” An Installation by Mireille Honein and ABAAD

Following a session that took place on March 15, 2017, ABAAD continues its efforts to implement activities in support of the proposal to abolish Article 522 of the Lebanese Penal Code within Parliament.

An art installation was launched at Ain el Mraysseh in Beirut, where 31 wedding dresses made from paper were hung from nooses. This number symbolized the 31 days in a month wherein raped women – who are forced to marry their rapists – die daily.
